Ardagh Recognised For Recycling Partnership

Ardagh Glass and recycler Reuse have received an award for their partnership to capture a higher portion of flint cullet. Judges at the UK's National Recycling Award described the project as an excellent example of cradle to cradle packaging. Using cullet colour separation technology, the partnership increased the recycled content of glass packaging produced at Ardagh's Doncaster plant in 2014. Each glass bottle or jar had an average recycled content of 53% in the final six months of 2014, against an average recycling rate of 26% in the same period 2013.
